Not sure where I came across this. It is marked "PC409" but check it out before the "tweaking" begins.

The counter wont lock due to VERY low signal levels usualy associated with ic chips. Also circuit loading may be an issue from your probes. You are gonna need a signal amplifier inline to boost that signal so the counter will lock. Also possibly a cap inline with the probes to prevent any circuit loading effects.

    Ham radio operators (VHF/UHF) should pay attention to enhanced radio propagation paths throughout the middle latitudes and equatorial region, a common occurrence following such events. :coffee: (y)
  • @ BJ radionut:
    Had "Aurora" propagation on CW/SSB on 6m last evening. (300-700m range here) The 2m guys had lots of Ducting/TROPO between the East Coast and Gulf Coast op's, even early today.

    good morning to all :)
